has gone through a few changes over the years. Dedi Felman—who, until recently, worked with Words Without Borders—helped found this publication, which Seminary Co-op (in Chicago) distributed to all of their members. At one point in time, Philip Leventhal—now an editor at Columbia University Press—was the managing editor. And now, has entered the digital age as an online book magazine edited by Jeff Waxman (who has written a number of great reviews for us).

In the near future, this magazine will include a fully scannable image of the physical front table at Seminary Co-op, which you really have to see to believe. I can’t remember the exact number, but I believe there are over 100 books on display (either on tables, or faced out along the wall) in Seminary—a decent sized space, but not the largest indie bookstore in the world.

There are also of what booksellers are reading, an section allowing University and literary editors to talk about a book they’re publishing, and a that’s being updated very regularly.

Even though this just went live, it’s already a pretty impressive site, and I’m sure it will continue to expand as time goes on.
